Castello Sforzesco Suites by Brera Apartments

Positives: The room was in overall excellent condition. The bed, pillows, and linens were sufficient. The bath towels were also high quality and in good condition. Service from the staff was quick and friendly. The location is excellent, with a very good restaurant and cafe on the street level. Cairoli station is a 2-minutes walk from the street exit. Negatives: Checking in would not have been possible without phone service. The room got very warm (it felt 24-25) despite our heat set to 18. We had to sleep with the window open which created excess noise. The walls were also permeable to what seemed like normal living noise from the neighbors. Both the sink and shower drains were clogged. Overall, the positives outweigh the negatives, but it could have been better, hence the mid-level rating.

Frustrating experience. The property is located inside Milan’s Area C, a restricted traffic zone monitored by cameras, and this information is NOT disclosed in the listing. Entering without authorization can result in a fine of approximately €80 + €14 notification fee, which is extremely serious when traveling with a rental car. Two hours before our arrival, we discovered that even the parking lot recommended by the host was also inside Area C. To avoid receiving a fine, we did not enter the zone, had to leave, and pay for another accommodation, resulting in unnecessary extra expenses. The warning about the restricted zone only appears during the online check-in, at a point where cancellation is not possible. This omission affected our plans and our budget, and I don’t want anyone else to go through the same situation. This information should have been clearly stated from the beginning. —————— Esperienza frustrante. La struttura si trova all’interno della Area C di Milano, una zona a traffico limitato controllata da telecamere, e questa informazione NON è presente nell’annuncio. L’ingresso non autorizzato può comportare una multa di circa €80 + €14 di spese di notifica, un rischio molto serio per chi viaggia con un’auto a noleggio. A due ore dal nostro arrivo abbiamo scoperto che persino il parcheggio consigliato dall’host si trovava anch’esso all’interno della Area C. Per evitare una multa, non siamo entrati nella zona, abbiamo dovuto andar via e pagare un altro allogg

Location was convenient to main attractions in Milan. Could use a bit of an upgrade and more amenities in the room.

Great place to stay, close to everything

Excellent location. Large comfortable room. Checking in after 10pm requires walking to a different location to get the key. No big deal. Great communication with service via phone and WhatsApp. Recommended.
